Brief summary
This study will be the First Time in Human Study (FTIH) aiming to assess the safety and tolerability of GW805858 for both single and repeat dose. The study also aims to assess safety and tolerability in mild asthmatic subjects as well as healthy volunteers.
Interventions
GW805858 MDI will be given with dose of 150 micrograms per metered actuation and 120 actuations per inhaler. GW805858 MDI comprises a solution of GW805858 in a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane propellant (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) which is contained in an aluminium alloy can, internally coated with a specified fluoropolymer, fitted with a metering valve.
Placebo MDI will be given to the subjects.
